Is God really a volcano

[Minimalist]

Quite traumatic for the Mediterranean,

Yeah....but. And its a big but.

It's late but tomorrow I'll go looking for some maps and charts on the issue. In essence, it would have been a tough day to be on the north coast of Crete or any number of Aegean islands but the tsunamis were blocked by those islands from much of the mainland of N. Africa Europe and Asia. Geologists have also determined that the ash cloud was carried by the prevailing winds in a generally north easterly direction which meant that breathing in what is now Turkey would have been problematic but Egypt and the Levant were barely touched.

I know it is a cottage industry to try to tie Santorini into everything...I've been there and it is fucking mind-blowing....




that was our ship anchored off Santorini. It was just under 500 feet long.

This shot, gives a better impression of the slope.




Poor bastards never knew what hit them.
